A splinter faction of the renowned Tantares Space Technologies company, started in the backyard of an ambitious defector, this foundling space agency is slowly growing to become a competitor with the big boys.
Q & A:
Q: What is "Notantares Space Industries?"
A: "Notantares Space Industries" is a mod intended to expand upon the extremely diverse and popular mod Tantares (Much like CONTARES does), including spacecraft and/or rockets that are not included in the main mod (eg: The "Big Soyuz," etc.), as well as various other additions. It is designed to be completely independant from Tantares, so that those who aren't using it can still use the Notantares Space Industries series of mods. Notantares is designed to be released in a series of "mini-packs," much like SXT used to have its own mini-packs, so that those who only want a specific selection of parts can just download those parts. However, it is, most importantly, not Tantares!
Q: Can you add X, Y, and Z into the game?
A: Thanks for the suggestion! I'll try to expand the mod to include these, but there are priorities.
Q: Can you add IVAs?
A: I will try to give IVAs to command pods, but for any large station parts, they'll have to wait.
Mods:
Big Soyuz "Big Khleb." (1.4.2)
Please Note: The above picture is outdated; The Big Soyuz mod now includes way more rocket parts, and with updated normal maps.
DESCRIPTION:
"Big Khleb" is an advanced crew transportation spacecraft capable of holding up to 6 kerbonauts, and is unlockable in the mid-to-late tech tree. It is designed to be able to support its crew for long-duration missions to space stations or to assist in lunar expeditions. It shall be designed with its own set of 0.9375m ungendered docking ports, so that those who do not use Tantares can still use the "Big Khleb." Whatever your needs, the "Big Khleb" can fulfil them!
It currently includes 3 fully-functional IVAs, a selection of modular command pods, fuel tanks, and engines, and functioning docking ports with integrated parachutes!

Notantares Station Parts. (1.4.2)
Watch The Trailer.
Please Note: This video is outdated and does not contain the full selection of parts the mod currently has.
DESCRIPTION:
Notantares Station Parts is a parts mod that will include an extensive array of both inflatable and rigid space station parts, designed to be used for orbital bases and spacecraft. The included parts will range from Bigelow-style inflatable habitats, centrifuges, and ISS-style crew modules. It is designed as an expansion to the Big Soyuz and NotantaresLV mini-packs.
It currently includes a 1.25m large inflatable habitat (3.75m when inflated, can hold 8 crew, functions as a science lab!), a 1.25m inflatable centrifuge (9m when inflated, functions as crew storage only!), a 1.25m medium-sized inflatable habitat (3.75m when inflated, can hold 6 crew, functions as a science lab!), and a 1.25m small-sized inflatable habitat (3.75m when inflated, can hold 4 crew, functions as crew storage only!).

BDB-Compatible Gemini Paraglider. (1.4.2)
DESCRIPTION:
This early-to-mid tech tree wonder is designed to be used with the Bluedog Design Bureau Gemini, but it has a degree of modularity that allows it to be used by any capsule. It can be deployed instead of a parachute, and allows a capsule to glide to down to a landing in a dried-up lake bed or a runway, like an aircraft!
Includes 1 part: A deployable Gemini-style paraglider wing.
DEPENDENCIES:
Modulemanager by @sarbian (Included), RetractableLiftingSurface by @linuxgurugamer (NOT INCLUDED).

ATTACHMENT INSTRUCTIONS (IMPORTANT!)
----------
Porkalike Gemini-style "Mk1-A" Command Pod. (1.4.2)
A 1.25m, 2-man, Porkalike, Gemini-alike command pod, whose textures are modified and transplanted from the Mk1 pod from the Porkjet rocketry overhaul, in order to look good next to Porkjet parts. Has built-in ComfortableLanding (By @Icecovery) compatibility, for those who are using that mod, and a placeholder IVA until I can scrape up the time to make one myself!
It currently includes just one part: The Mk1-A command pod.
